Nepal observes national day of mourning for victims of flash flood disaster

"There would be 'no government programmes organised as the rescue and search operation is still going on in the flood-hit areas.'"

— Phanindra Paudel , Other

"Our focus is on search and rescue at three levels - on ground, by air, and in the tunnels."

— Raja Ram Basnet , Other

"The operation meant facing 'multiple potential rescues, unfolding at the same time, in different places, each with its own dangers, uncertainties and lives that may still be saved.'"

— Arnold Dix , Executive
